Parties

Text

1. The name of this contract is "The Agoran Proposal Awards". The Host
for this contract is BobTHJ. This is a Public Contract.

2. Any player may become party to this contract by announcement. Any
person may cease to be party to this contract by announcement. This
contract may be amended by any party without three objections

3. Once after each publication of the Agoran Proposal Awards report,
each player may submit a single ballot by announcement containing
their votes for the eligible proposal which in their opinion is the
best fit for each of the following categories (the eligible proposals
are the proposals whose voting results have been published since the
last Agoran Proposal Awards report):

a. Dry - appropriate for proposals that display paticular aridity
and/or blandness. Proposals nominated for this category should be good
bedtime reading.

b. Sticky - appropriate for proposals that commingle two distinct and
separate game concepts together into one proposal.

c. Useless - appropriate for proposals that display a high level of
floccinaucinihilipilificatiousness. Proposals nominated for this
category should have little or no true function.

d. Rejuvenating - appropriate for proposals that add life and
excitement to the game. Proposals nominated for this category should
cultivate interesting concepts in the same way as a gardener who tends
his field.

e. Silly - appropriate for proposals that dispaly jejune behavior.
Proposals nominated in this category typically will not be taken
seriously.

f. Befuddling - appropriate for proposals which could be submitted by
a womble. Proposals nominated in this category will be excessively
complex, far beyond what is required to convey the concept.

g. Other <cateogry name> - Votes of this type do not count towards
making a ballot valid unless the proposed category name becomes a
category before the end of the week. <category name> may be a new or
existing category name.

4. A valid ballot is defined as a ballot that indicates at least 1
proposal that is a best fit for a given category, and does not vote
for any proposal as best fit to more than 1 category.

5. Parties are encouraged to suggest new categories and/or remove
categories no longer in use by amending the category list in this
contract using the mechanism specified in section 2.

6. With the publication of the APA report each eligible proposal that
received more votes for a specific category than any other proposal
shall be the winner of that category for that report. If two or more
proposals are tied for the most nominations in a category, or if there
were no nominations for a category then there shall be no winner of
that category for that report.

7. With the publication of each APA report, the Host shall attempt to
award 5 points to each winning proposal and distribute them to the
author of said proposal. Then the Host shall attempt to award each
party who submitted a valid ballot during that week a 1 point
participation bonus.

8. The Host shall keep a record of all winning proposals and their
authors, and shall publish regularly a list of past winners and
current eligible proposals.
